I am working on a city brownstone roof garden, and would like to be able to place
the drawing in the actually city setting where it located, so the background
looks real. The rooftop is in Brooklyn with a view of Manhattan.
Is this possibe to do in SU??

Thanks for the help, I have managed to remove all of the 3d objects from my drawing, It still runs a little slow, but at least I can work on it now. I could work with the layer off, but I had multiple things (plants/hardsape) on one layer:lesson learned. Current drawing size is 37,000 kb is this a really large drawing for SU (sorry might be a dumb question)

I have 3d plants I have to get rid of in my drawing, they are causing the drawing to freeze up, I tried to erase the layer, but the locked plants stayed and then it froze and I have to start the computer over, is there a way to erase locked plants with out opening the layer?

lol....I think frustrated would be word to describe my state right now. That sounds like it might take longer, I just want to finish. I thought dropping the plants in would
be the easy part! and drawing all the hardscape stuff the hard part. I don't even know
if I can open the plant layer and have it function long enough for me to take out the
3d plants. Thanks for the help.

Okay thanks a bunch for the info, last question: is there a way to make the 3d plants I already have in the drawing into 2d ones, flatten them maybe (sorry new to SU) so I dont
have to re-do all of the plants I already have in the drawing?

Okay thank you, most of the plants I put in our 3d. I am new to SU, can you view the space from many angles if you use 2d things, or are you limited?

So your basically saying turn everything off, and only work with the portion of the plan
where I am putting the plants. I have basically done that, except for a few of the hardescape. It can barely even turn the plants layer on by itself, takes like 2 min. Is this a problem with SU, b/c I am studying to be an L.A. and I will have lots of plants in all of my drawings, should I be learning a different softwar do you think?

Hello everyone, I am new am new to this forum, and need some serious help.
I have a drawing all I have left to do is add plants.
I have about half the plants added, but now my computer is freezing up in me to the
point where I can't work on the drawing. I have selected "use hardware acceleration" "use fast feedback" and it didnt help. Any other suggestions? My computer is not that old, and the drawing is not huge.
